Mrs. F. F. Thompson 



(Tea) — A sport from the lovely Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, and 

 an exact duplicate, except in color, which is a lovely 

 shade of shell pink, with a deep glowing heart of bright 

 pink, which brightens up the flower wonderfully. Like 

 Shawyer, it is a vigorous grower, and blooming con- 

 stantly from early Spring until late Fall. Hardy almost 

 everywhere. An excellent one for cutting, as the lovely 

 buds, which are produced on long, stout stems, hold their 

 shape for an unusual length of time after cutting, and 

 opening into such immense, full and double blooms, with 

 petals of good substance. Price, first size plants, 30c each, 

 postpaid; 4 for $1.00. Two-year-old plants, 75c each, by 

 express. All on their own roots. 



EDGAR M. BURNETT — Very large, full flowers of splen- 

 did form with large flesh-colored petals tinted rose: 

 an advance on the type of Rose of which the beautiful 

 Lady Alice Stanley is a representative; one of the 

 sweetest scented Roses in existence, even surpassing 

 "La France" in this respect. Awarded gold medal. 

 National Rose Society of England. Price, strong first 

 size plants, 25c each, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 

 50c each, by express. 



MME. EDOUARD HERRIOT (Daily Mail)— Hybrid Tea. 

 The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, of spread- 

 ing, branching habit, with numerous long thorns and 

 bronzy-green foliage. Buds coral red, shaded with yel- 

 low at the base, the open flowers are of medium size, 

 semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, shaded with 

 yellow and bright rosy-scarlet. Price, first size plants, 

 25c each; two-year-old plants, 50c each, by express.

(Tea Rose) — This is one of the newer varieties 

 introduced by the growers of Lady Hillingdon. 

 We have not seen a Rose that has met with such 

 universal appreciation by both the amateur and 

 professional grower, and has won awards in al- 

 most every place shown since it was introduced, 

 both in this country and Europe. The color is 

 one Very hard to describe, being a brilliant shade 

 of clear rose or bright peach-pink. It is a 

 wonderful grower and bloomer, producing 

 great numbers of strong shoots, each shoot 

 tipped with a bud. These shoots form the 

 stem, from 3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers 

 are very large, well formed and full, petals 

 of good substance. A very fine garden Rose, 

 as well as forcing Rose. Blooms all season from early 

 spring until late fall. Excellent for cutting as flowers last 

 a long time after cutting. Price of strong pot-grown plants, 

 25c each; two-year-old plants, 50c each. The stock is 

 grow 11 on own roots. 



OLD GOLD (Hybrid Tea) — In bud form this Rose appeals 



to every one on account of its wonderful color, which is entirely 

 distinct from and not found in any other Rose, a vivid orange- 

 red, with coppery-red and apricot shadings, opening bright sal- 

 mon, which is further set off by the healthy, glossy, bright green 

 fohage; delightfully fragrant; a vigorous grower and very free 

 flowering. A great bedder. Awarded gold medal National Rose 

 Society of England. Price, first size plants, 25c each, postpaid; 

 two-year-old plants, 60c each, by express. All on own roots.
